"I've learned how to live my life in a way that I'm happy and I can do the things that I want to do," she told Lauer. "I think it's this recent whirlwind of experiences that I've gone through this past year and a half. I've kind of just taken a step back and I'm not doing what I love to do and I need to find that balance again."

Lohan went on to describe serving community service at the LA County Morgue as a major "learning experience" which helped her turn her life around.

"The two women I work with [at the morgue] have been so wonderful to me and I've learned so much just from themâ€¦ They're just genuinely nice, good people and everyone there has been really just kind to me," she explained.

"It's been a learning experience and I'm glad that I experienced itâ€¦ It's helped me. It was humbling."

Lohan previously revealed that she is now "clean and sober" and is hoping that her appearance on Saturday Night Live will revive her acting career.
